ONE-SIDED PRITILEG Us.

American fishing vessels generally have re-
NAMED in deem water this season, but yesterday
the Canadians seized two seine boats and their
crews on the ground that they were fish
ing within the three mile limit, ana a
schooner which was III search OF TWO
of It's crew. Last years experience
convinced the owners Of vessels employed III
catching mackcrel and cod that the only safe
course would be to keep out of Canadian
ports. The interesting Portland letter to be
found in another column gives an epitone
of the views Of one of the largest firms IN the
trade. Every captain has been told that he must
not enter "a Canadian port unless he Is forced
to seek shelter from storm or TO OBTAIN
wood or water When compelled to go IN
side, he must report at the Custom House with
out delay, and leave port as soon rs possible
The judcous instructions given to the hcct
have deprived the Canadian officials OF OPP
portuntics for Selling vessels for technical
violations Of the customs laws. and conduct
ing arbitrary prosecutions for forfeiture when
there was no proof Of an actual intention To
defraud the Government or to eyade The
customs law. In order to harass the American
fishing interests, those officials will have to
take advantage Of stress Of weather and swoop
down upon vessels that are seeking shelter
in harbor in accordance with treaty rights.
This was done in numerous instances last
year.
Practically, the American fishing fleet does
not enjoy in Canadian ports the commercial
privileges which were proclaimed by Great
Britain and the United States in 1880. The
obligations of that international compact have
been faithfully kept on one side. Canadian
vessels can enter American ports freely, pur-
chase bait and supplies Of all kinds. recruit
their crows and incur no risk Of being seized.
fined and confscatcd for technical cvasions Of
customs regulations. American vessels do not
have the same privileges in Canadian waters,
and in order to ply their trade in peace they
are forced TO remain outside and only TO seek
shelter in circumstances Of sheer necessity.

THE CANAL CONVENTION

The friends of the canals of Ncw-Y0rk will
hold a convention at Rochester on Thursday
II promises TO be largely attended. Tho
Boards Of Trade of all the leading cities in
the State will be represented and other
influential business organizations have elected
delegates to it. This is the third convention
Of the series. The first one was held NJ
Utica in 1885, Horatio Seymour presiding.
Il pronounced against the proposition look
ing to the General Government Tor aid TO
improve the canals. 1t also pronounced against
a ship canal. 1t Endorsed the free canal pot
lev. called for lengthening the locks and
deepening the channel Of the main lines, de-
manded that railroad determinations against
canal shippers should be forbidden by law,
and favored the regulation of terminal charges
by law. The second convention was held at
Syracuse last August. Those who believe III
the Federal aid scheme made another effort
to have it indoiscd but again fa'lcd. Rcsolu-
tons were adcp,cd looking to the enlarge
ment and improvement of the Eric Canal,
so as to make it fully available to boats OF
the largest capacity and to the enlargement
OF the locks and the deepening OF the chan
mel of the Oswcgo and Oh IN lain canals.
The substantial aid obtained for the canals
from the last Legislature was due IN large
measure to the public sentiment which these
conventions did so much to stimulate. Many
imnortant questions will come bf'ro Thurs
davis convention and its outcome VIII be
awaited with interest

PARTISAN SHIP IN THE NAVY.

"The World loosely remarks that when
n navy is TO be built e1ch Administrau on
ought TO be allowed to do its own testing.
That is to say, vessel designed and con-
tracted for under a Republican Admini>tra-
ton should not be tried and investigated by
a Democratic Administration. Secretary Whit
ney. on the other hand, should remain in
Office long enough to accept the new vessels
for which he is personally responsible, and a
Republican Administration should not be SUI
fered to pick flaws in his designs and work.
These plcasantrics of our mercurial neighbor
are veined with satire. The fact that a DEM
ocratic Secretary Of tho Navy has been 50
bitter a partisan to make strenuous efforts
to condemn every vessel contracted for by
his predecessor, naturally cxctes apprehen-
sion in the Democratic breast that Rcpub-
lican successor will subject the Baltimore,
the Charleston and their sister ships to crit
icism and tests equally unfair and partisan.
Indeed, if Secretary Whitney's example should
be followed by his SUCCESSORS in Office. every
ship added to the fleet would be condemned
as badly designed, wrctchedly built and hope
lessly behind the times
Tho effect of this vicious partisanship, il
it had been successful, would have been 10
discredit the American Navy rather than the
Secretary's predecessor or the builder of the
DOLPHIN and the Atlanta. Mr.. Chandler did
not design those vessels. He appointed al
Advisory Board, comnosed OF distinguished
officers and naval experts Of the &C. 10
prenaro designs and to make recommends
tiOns. When the contracts were awarded. tie
builders work was done under constant
supervision OF inspectors representing tina.
Board If Secretary Whitney could have
succeeded in condemning the Dolphin and
the Atlanta, he would only have demonstrated
the inability of picked body of naval en-
gineers and experts to design and construct
modern vessel Of war. He would have dis
credited the naval service and convicted Ii
of incompetence and Ignorance. In the same
way his successor, il he be Republican and
as bigoted partisan as himself, will impair
tho prestige OF the American Navy by sac
rificing the interests of the service in malev-
client warfare for political ends. 1t Is very
fair Jest to talk of Republican tests for Re-
publican ships and Democratic tests for Dom
ocratio ships; but malignant craftsmanship
such as the present Secretary has exhibited,

The President has accepted q second invitation
to visit st. Louis and will probably go. unless it
turns out that the mysterious Yelled Prophet

the same streets in part, and the litigation which

The story of William J. Mannings alleged
false Imprisonment by Army officers hardly
seems credible If it is true that man who
was never in the Army has been imprisoned
for desertion, then there must be something
radically wrong in the court-martial system

wait for the other side of this story.

KILLED will, a Tea Kettle

MARQUETTE, Mich, Nov. 2S.-The first
report that the Finn murder here Saturday
evening was committed with an axe proves
untrue The crime was committed with a
heavy iron tea kettle filled with boiling
water which was snatched from the stove
BY the drunken husband. He knocked his
wife down with it, severely scalding him
self, and then pounded her head to jelly
with the iron pot, scattering her blood and
brains all over the miserable hovel. In his
fury he broke the kettle into dozeus OF
pieces upon her head. The sight when tine
house was visited By the jury was sicken'
ing, the poor woman having been pounded
